With the German NGOs “Viva con Agua” and “Welthungerhilfe,” the Social House wraps off its “Voice for Change” series

May 10, New Delhi, India: The Social House, in association with the German non-governmental organizations “Viva con Agua” and “Welthungerhilfe,” marked the end of an incredible journey with the “Voice for Change” series’ fifth and last event. This significant event signals the start of a larger movement towards social change and empowerment, as well as the conclusion of a popular series.

 

Ever since its establishment, The Social House has been committed to promoting community involvement and advocacy in order to create significant effects. In order to address important problems including women’s empowerment, water sanitation, and hygiene, the “Voice for Change” series has provided a forum that has sparked discussions and motivated action.

The final event, which took place at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Evening College in New Delhi, served as a demonstration of the effectiveness of teamwork and collaborative action. Along with thought-provoking talks on empowering women by solving the problems of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, the event included engaging performances by well-known performers Kirti Chauhan, Yusra Fatma, Saraswati, and Manpreet Singh.

Prominent panelists, such as Tanya Aneja, a business journalist; Ravie Solanky, the founder of The Social House; Nivedita Varshneya, a regional advisor for advocacy at WHH India; and Aparna Lall, the head of the WASH Behaviour Change Program in India, offered enlightening viewpoints on the importance of youth-driven innovation and solutions, the necessity for behavioral change, and corporate support for social causes.

Tanya highlighted the role of private firms in amplifying influence, while Aparna stressed the need for individual effort to bring about genuine change. Nivedita urged young people to use their time, effort, and imagination to advance novel solutions.

As he considered the trip and the difficulties that lay ahead, Ravie Solanky emphasized the need for proactive involvement and personal growth. He emphasized the value of being socially present in the actual world and pushed people to go beyond talks to take action.

The Social House co-founder Dimpy underlined this idea, pointing out that even if the show is over, the fight for social change is still continuing. Ongoing activity and community involvement are necessary for long-term development.

Viva con Agua advocates for hygienic practices, sanitation, and access to clean drinking water. For our work and our national and international programs, we employ music, athletics, and art as global languages, and we depend on action. With the motto “WATER FOR EVERYONE—EVERYONE FOR WATER!” it backs water initiatives. Water, a vital human right and the foundation of all life, is also something we breathe. The goal of Viva con Agua is to provide everyone with access to basic sanitary supplies, hygiene facilities, and clean drinking water. 2.2 billion people globally lack guaranteed access to safe drinking water. 785 million of them do not even have access to a basic water source.

One of the biggest private relief organizations in Germany, Welthungerhilfe (WHH), is impartial on matters of politics and religion. Fighting for “zero hunger by 2030” is the organization’s goal. It was established in 1962 and has since contributed EUR 4.46 billion to over 10,895 international projects across 70 nations.WHH provided assistance to around 16.6 million individuals via its 526 international initiatives in 36 countries in 2021 alone. That really implies that a lot of individuals are able to change their diets since they are harvesting more. Since they now have access to sanitary restrooms and drinking water at home, they are less prone to disease. Some are able to start school because they are earning or generating more. With WHH’s help, the kids have a better opportunity of developing both mentally and physically. WHH works with national and international partner organizations to conduct a range of development cooperation projects, from long-term development to rehabilitation, all based on the philosophy of empowering people to assist themselves.
